Photograph is in a book with a description beneath ; printed description: "(I.Chron., xxii: 9-10)--' Behold, a son shall be
borne to thee, who shall be a man of rest; and I will give him rest from all his enemies round about: for his name shall be
Solomon and I will give peace and quietness unto Israel in his days. He shall build an house for my name; and he shall be
my son, and I will be his father; and I will establish the throne of his kingdom over Israel forever.' These words were spoken
of Solomon the son of David, and Jesus Christ is a direct descendenant of David, and the throne of an everlasting kingdom
was established not by Solomon but by Christ. The Tower of Antonia is the first station in the Via Dolorosa, the sad and mournful
way over which Jesus walked from the Sanhedrim to Calvary. This tower is also called Pilate's Judgment Hall. The holy steps
that led to the hall, and which were said to be trodden by the feet of Jesus, were removed to Rome and may now be seen in
St. John Lateran Church." Copyright year and photographer's name are printed at the bottom of the photograph, along with
"Franklin Co Eng-Chi."
